Thread: BUG #9308: The application failed to initialize properly
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 9308 Logged by: Patrick Wege Email address: patrick.wege@bioscitec.de PostgreSQL version: 8.4.20 Operating system: Windows XP SP2 Description: If I try installing or running the postgresql 8.4.20 on Windows XP SP2 machine I get an "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application." Error! No matter what executable I run. (postgresql.exe, psql.exe, ... even pgAdmin3.exe) This is no issue on Windows XP3 and above. Thanks, Patrick
Well, after installing the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)" it is working again. Why did the compiler change, without a hint in the release-notes? In version 8.4.19 the C++ 2008 runtime was not necessary. Kind regards, Patrick

I don't think that binary build process has release notes though. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. +
Installer installs the VC++ runtimes. You can confirm from the installation log. There is no change from installer perspective in 8.4.20.

Yes, the installer
installs VC++ 2005. This is sufficient for 8.4.19. But
not for version 8.4.20. The installer of version 8.4.20 does
install CV++2005 too, but I have to install VC++ 2008 to get it
working.
As a result the installer of 8.4.20 hangs at the end of the
process if VC++ 2008 is not installed. I have checked the
installers of 8.4.19 and 8.4.20 in the exact same environment.
(Virtual machine Win XP SP2 with no VC++ installed)
Please check, possibly I am wrong,
Patrick

Why did the compiler change, without a hint in the
release-notes? In version 8.4.19 the C++ 2008 runtime was
not necessary.

Yes, we could reproduce this. Will provide update installer for 8.4 Windows soon. Thanks for reporting this.
